Last month, we reported that Sam Raimi, the director of three “Spider-Man” movies, had not seen director Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man yet. He said, “I haven’t had the guts to go see the movie yet, because I don’t want to go to my girlfriend’s wedding. I just can’t bring myself to do it–I don’t have the guts.”

That has now changed as Raimi tells HeyUGuys: “It was very hard for me to see the new Spider-Man movie, I felt so attached to it, I couldn’t see Spider-Man with another director; it’s like my love, and I didn’t want to walk in on my love with someone else. It was just like that. Then I got over myself last week and said, ‘just see the damn thing’. And I did, and I loved it. I actually felt free. I thought, ‘why am I carrying around this baggage?’ Of course the next Spider-Man story should be told, and [Marc Webb] did a wonderful job telling that. I loved the movie, and I’m looking forward like a fan to the next instalment. I love the comic book, and now I don’t feel bound, and I’m really glad somebody’s remaking it again.”
